One of the beautiful things about adult education at St. Albert is that students don’t just learn in the classroom they also get the chance to gain real hands-on experience through our student-led business, PEACE Pens & Beyond.
Today, on his 18th birthday, Hunter chose to spend his day exactly where he shines:
➡️ at school
➡️ building skills
➡️ and helping grow our business ✨
This morning, one of our graduates stopped by needing custom “Believe” labels for his handmade pottery candles and he needed them by tomorrow!
Without hesitation, Hunter jumped in:
✔️ Designed the labels
✔️ Cut them using our Cricut machine
✔️ Applied them with care
✔️ Met the tight deadline
✔️ Sent another happy customer on their way
Hunter, we are so proud of your dedication, your creativity, and the way you show up for our school community.
🎉 Happy 18th Birthday, Hunter! 🎉
Thank you for choosing to spend your special day learning, working, and making a difference.
✨ PEACE Pens & Beyond — where students learn, lead, and shine.

This morning, St. Albert Learning Centre was honoured to be represented at Christ the King Parish for the celebration of the Feast of Christ the King. It was a beautiful Mass that highlighted faith, gratitude, and the strength of our shared community.
After Mass, parishioners enjoyed a wonderful breakfast spread and our students’ baking was quickly picked up and enjoyed. We were also thrilled to see the beautiful knitted pieces created by a parishioner, generously offered for fundraising in support of the Front Steps Project.
A thank you goes out to the Front Steps Project Baking Committee for the thoughtful letter we received, recognizing three years of partnership, the dedication of our students, and the continued support that helps this initiative grow. Your kind words mean so much.
We are truly grateful to Christ the King Parish for welcoming us so warmly and for the opportunity to continue working together in service.
Thank you to our incredible students and staff for being so awesome.

Today, St. Albert Learning Centre proudly celebrated the Feast Day of St. Albert the Great (traditionally November 15), honouring a remarkable scholar, teacher, and advocate for lifelong learning. Since the date fell on a weekend this year, our school community came together today to celebrate in the spirit of unity, hospitality, and gratitude.
More than 80 students shared a warm lunch of homemade chicken soup and roasted red-pepper vegetable soup, enjoyed with fresh buns, reminding us that simple gatherings often create the strongest sense of belonging.
We were blessed to welcome members of our community, including:
✨ Deacon Roland from Christ the King Parish
✨ Director of Education, Mr. Morris Hucal
✨ Superintendent Paul Nalli
✨ Superintendent Natasha Folino
Their presence highlights the shared commitment to walking beside our learners and supporting their success.
A few facts about St. Albert the Great:
• He is the Patron Saint of students, teachers, and scientists.
• He believed deeply that every person can learn, regardless of background or circumstance.
• He taught that faith and knowledge work together, and encouraged curiosity, exploration, and compassion.
• He was known for meeting learners “where they were” and guiding them forward with patience and respect.
At St. Albert Learning Centre, we honour his legacy every day by:
• Providing individualized pathways for each learner.
• Encouraging inquiry, critical thinking, and personal growth.
• Creating a welcoming community where every story matters and every student can shine.
Today’s shared meal was a beautiful reminder of the community we are building, one rooted in hope, dignity, and opportunity.
Thank you to all of our dedicated staff for planning, cooking, and serving our students

At St. Albert Learning Centre, Future Friday invites our students to reflect on their goals, choices, and the kind of future they want to help create for themselves and for others.
This week, in recognition of Treaty Week, students explored what treaties mean and why they continue to matter today. After watching an educational video and engaging in thoughtful discussion, each student signed a personal promise; a commitment to themselves, their community, and our shared future.
✨ “In every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations.” — Haudenosaunee Teaching
Through reflection and action, our students are learning that the future we imagine is one we build together, one with respect, understanding, and hope.

Today we were honoured to welcome our Director of Education, Morris Hucal, back to St. Albert Learning Centre!
A few weeks ago, Mr. Hucal joined us for our Pilgrim Walk, and today he returned to visit every classroom including our daycare and our French education partners! He came to see our students and staff in action. He even rolled up his sleeves in our shop to handcraft a pen under the guidance of our student Trent!
Thank you, Mr. Hucal, for taking the time to connect with our students and staff once again, and for your ongoing support of the innovative and faith-filled learning happening at St. Albert!
We can’t wait to welcome you back again soon!
